To Share With You
haha! I gotta celebrate just a little bit. *takes out some shot glasses* who will share that first shot with me?
That's it! I am member #371 for now on the chicagoblog link. Wow, it took almost 1.5 months but I finally belong to a webring. My first one! *gleams with joy* I belong somewhere. yay!
Oh and points to the sidebar. I'm not much of the html person but you gotta love my little counter. Cuz I do!
Yesterday, I spent a good 8 hours playingFF2, Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly. whoa, it's been awhile since I've planted my buttocks in front of a tv and played ps2 straight through with no disturbances. Takes your mind off things and it's a good time-killer. Yeah, where did my Saturday go? FF2, it's a great game and if you're into horror and solving mysteries, I highly recommended to ya. Nightmares throughout the night. Game best played with headphones.
Today, went to the library and sat reading, The Uncollege Alternative: Your Guide to Incredible Careers and Amazing Adventures Outside College. At first, the book got me all depressed. It spoke to me, where I could relate with that I know I don't want to go on and complete my final year of college. There's much to be learned and I feel that if I put this last year off for a later time I would cherish it better in the future. Only things holding me behind are the friends I enjoy good times with right now, my scholarship money, my lease contract with this apartment. It gets complicated and I feel like it's too late to pull myself out right now so might as well go through with the whole graduation.
A couple of things I learned from this book, I'll write down some quotes when encountering the "What Should I do with My Life" dilemna.
-You should think of 'Life' as a constant act of becoming, not a fixed place of arrival. Life isn't a race. Take your time. So keep your chin up and don't be sad about not knowing, it is these moments that you ARE open to possibilities and many happenings around your life. And the whole trick to life is to continually explore what you're passionate about. People of all ages are doing this everyday. The general belief that by the age of 'after college' you're suppose to know who you are and what you want to do with yourself, but that's not true at all! It's all on a continual basis of living and learning. The only real job you have for yourself in this lifetime is to have a fabulous life. You give yourself the meaning of what life means to be great and fabulous. And last but not least, please remember: You're not here to have an "I got through it" life. Life is to thrill you. So on your tombstone, you'll want it to say, "It was beyond my wildest dreams and I wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world."
After reading these couple of lines of advice, it makes me feel a little better. So I told myself, alright this last year I'm gonna learn to the best of my ability. Hopefully with straight A's. Then afterwards, find some storage place and store everything away, go on and do some traveling, some exploring and living. Maybe live for a couple of months on a cruise ship. Find some more strength in myself. Find my strength, motivation, inspiration and a sense of self somewhere out there. That makes me feel just a little bit better. ^_^
I'm smiling in my head right now if you can't tell.
I love taking walks, so I took a nice long walk home. Beautiful day it was.
Now I'm thirsty and must go get a glass of water. Ciao.
